Alright. This is a feature (maybe a hack, who knows) that is available at a VB3 forum I'm a part of. Well, here's the idea of it. When the cursor is held over the link that opens the thread, a tool-tip type pop up, popups right there showing what the first post in the thread contains. So if one decides that they don't like what is in the thread, or feels they don't have something to reply to with in that thread, they don't open it. This would be especially useful for us dialup users. Ask me more about it if anyone's confused on the idea. I think it would be a very beneficial addition to this forum! :wavey:

I can technically do that in PHPBB, but I'm too lazy :)

You know what, when I'm done with my current software project (which I've had practically no time for), I'll work on a mod for that. It'll slow down the loading times for the pages that contain that. It shouldn't be too hard, though. Simple MySQL reference and an even simpler JavaScript script...

actually it woulden't be javascript. It's just the 'title' tag in a href. Of course, you might have to use wordwrap, and there's a vulnrability in wordwrap on all PHP before 4.3.0. I think you can still technically do it by submitting a modified post

java is on the verge of instinction. it should be killed asap.

I think it's 'extinction'. and no, it's not. There are many things that Java can do, that nothing else can do (I'm talking java, not javascript).

it is extinction, and yea.. then there wouldn't be all those lame java games!

whatever.. i can be a spelling nazi too if i wanted... anyway i agree, pretty much all java games are lame

back to reality, we don't want to make the site any slower.. I enjoy the fact that the site is so fast... but if the feature is that good.. sure..

VB = $160
PHPBB = free

yeah i know its not free no more, but the older free betas still work. Invision is nice too... meh, but I don't really care, its fine now :). Maybe at least a new theme template for twl considering this is the default template that comes stock with phpbb.. ;)

1) "not free no more" is like 60's from the south
2) do you mean envision?
3) they already said they can't change the theme

2). no, invision (http://www.invisionboard.com/). Invision is actually more expensive then Vbulletin

Welcome to ENG98.. Introductory to the English language. Are you having fun yet? :sunglasses:

that's not even a real class... and if you want to think you're an english god, you should probably proof read your posts and see that it should be introduction and not introductory.. like I said, take the door on your left.

oh yeah. there is no practical way to juxtapose articulation habits from such a diverse collection of dialects as is found among us, due largely in part to the varying locations of the arguments used.

in other words, where your from dictates your interpretation of the language. take ebonics. some poeple would say its not proper english, when technically, it's proper ebonics you should be worried about.

we can argue connotations for fun though.

someone correct my grammar and prove my point....

Juxtapose means put together or put next to each other.
